How can we help?

Answers to common questions, and a way to reach us.

Getting started

How do I capture a thought?

At the bottom of Tide and the Library there is a capture bar. Tap it to type, or hold its button and speak. Let go, and the thought is caught. For a long one, slide up while holding and Oryne keeps listening until you tap Stop. Capture is meant to take a second, so the idea lands before it slips away.

How do I capture fastest?

In your iPhone's Settings, open Action Button, choose Shortcut, then pick Oryne's Start Fast Capture. You can also add Oryne's button to Control Center. Either way, Oryne opens already listening.

How do I keep a screenshot together with a spoken note?

In the Shortcuts app, make a shortcut that runs Take Screenshot, then Oryne's Start Context Capture. Run it from the Action Button, from Back Tap in Accessibility settings, or from Camera Control where your iPhone allows it.

Can I capture from other apps?

Yes. In any app, tap Share and choose Oryne. Links, images, and text arrive in your Ocean.

Can I use Siri?

Yes. Say “Hey Siri, add an inspiration to Oryne,” then speak your thought. Siri phrases are in English. In any language, you can run Oryne's Add Inspiration action from a shortcut.

Your Ocean

Where do my notes go, and how do they get organized?

You never have to file anything. Once a thought is caught, on-device intelligence reads it, gives it a title in its own language, and finds the themes inside it. Related thoughts drift together into currents, so ideas that belong together end up together without you sorting them by hand. When you want to find something, you can ask the Ocean in plain language instead of digging through folders.

Does Oryne sync between my iPhone and iPad?

Yes, through iCloud, when both devices are signed in to the same Apple Account.

Does it work offline?

Capture always works. You can speak or type a thought with no connection at all, and titling and theming happen on your device. Some extras need a network: summarizing a link you saved requires a connection and a supported device. When that is not available, Oryne keeps the link with its basic details instead of failing.

How do I export everything?

In Oryne's Settings, choose Export the Ocean. You get Markdown files, one per current, plus a JSON backup.

How do I edit or delete a thought?

Open any thought and tap its title or its words to edit them. To remove one, tap the trash button and confirm. Right after a capture, Undo takes it back. Deleting a thought takes it out of your currents and removes it from your private iCloud sync across your devices.

What are the example thoughts?

Oryne starts with a short introduction current. Once you've read it, choose Clear examples in Oryne's Settings.

Comfort

Can I tap to record instead of holding?

Yes. Turn on Calm Accessibility Mode in Oryne's Settings: the capture button then starts and stops with a tap, and motion holds still. With VoiceOver or Switch Control on, it works by tap too. Reduce Motion, in your iPhone's Settings under Accessibility, then Motion, also stills the motion.

How do I switch Oryne to Chinese?

In Settings › Oryne › Language, choose 简体中文.

Your privacy

Oryne is built so your thoughts stay yours. The intelligence that titles, themes, and connects your whispers runs on your device. Your captures sync only through your own private iCloud, tied to your Apple Account, so they reach your other devices without living on our servers. There is no tracking, no advertising profile, and nothing about what you capture is mined or sold. Read the full Privacy Policy.
